whatever ...

there is no way that our secondary and pass defense is not an improvement over what we had ....

There were two defenses last year, don't forget that. Dez was the hottest WR in football when Hall shut him down to win the NFCEast. The defense already improved over the travesty that was the first half of the year.

I'll agree with that ... and that even after losing some players

I'm not sure we can 'afford' both Winfield and Hall but ....

I am glad that Hall is back and IF these guys think Winfield still 'adds' to the defense - they'll find a way

I know that Hall did have a lot of good plays for us last season but I still think he might be given a look at FS

Nobody really expects the Redskins to do well - 8 wins is considered a winning season for Dan Snyder's Redskins Redskins should fire Bruce Allen & try a different way of managing this franchise

we'll soon see

Well, if anybody can achieve it, it's THIS front office outfit. Comparing our current way of operating (albeit forced in part by Mr Mara and his goons) with the way of the past is like night and day. We're probably going to have some problems maintaining continuity next offseason, but one thing at a time.

If we could still add Winfield to this defence, I think it would be huge - we could actually see the corner position become a position of strength, and be able to concentrate on the safety position in the draft.

And a whole bunch of people with contracts ending after the 13/14 season. Haven't seen a figure for how much cap space we're projected to have, but I'm not certain that we'll suddenly have $18m loose change to play with.

I thought I read (ex 1niksder) that we're looking at about $30M of cap space available - of course it's 'approximate'

we also have the VERY good guys in charge now and they have NOT put us in a position where we are looking at a lot of trouble, salary wise, next season - unlike what we used to see

I see an awful lot of players that will be 'available' next season because they could not get what they wanted and signed short term deals with an idea that they'd get more money
a lot of these players are going to be VERY disappointed when they find out that they are NOT worth what they think they should be

the NFL is very quickly becoming a young players league - in the past, teams paid for proven, established 'talent' - not any more
a few players will, but, there are going to be a lot of good players NOT getting what they think they should
